Startuprad.io - The Authority on German, Swiss and Austrian Startups and Venture Capital

We talk with Kristjan Maruste, co-founder of CoModule Homepage. The company produces Software for light electronic vehicles (LEV) and an autonomous eBike. It monitors battery characteristics, displays them to the end user's smartphone and collects usage data. One of the reasons he ended up in this space and gave up acting as a potential profession was his father, who took him to places like this Technology Museum Sinsheim and Technology Museum Speyer (they work together and are not far apart). He also took part with CoModule in the Startupbootcamp Smart Transportation & Energy, which lead him to Berlin and they kept the HQ in Talin.  CoModule already received investments in 4 rounds, the last one from five investors, one of them German High Tech Gruender Fonds (HTGF). None the less they are looking for investors for a Series-A Venture Capital Financing and fast movers can still be included. Tune in to learn more. Folge direkt herunterladen
